Turn signall question

 I've got a 84 Gold Wing with those damned self cancelling turn signals that
never work right. Does anyone know of a way to disable this feature so they
just stay on till I turn them off.  Thanks Runk.........

I can't figure out from your posting if the signals work as they
are supposed to, and you don't like the feature, or if there is
something wrong with them.  It might be worth the effort of fixing
them so they work as designed rather than disabling the
self-cancelling feature.  I liked this feature on my '86 GL1200A.
There's an angle sensor on the bottom of the steering head IIRC
and they're tied into the speedometer too if I'm not mistaken.

is that, under many conditions, they self-cancel sooner than I would like.


You're not mistaken.  I addition to observing normal behaviour (The
signals stay on forever when stopped but self-cancel sooner the faster
one rides.) I once experienced a speedo sensor failure while on a long
trip and found that I had to retrain myself to always cancel them
manually!

 You could cut the wire from the speed sensor going to the cancel unit
and they would not self cancel. Be sure that you cut the wire to the
cancel only and not the feed to the speedometer or you would lose the
speed and mileage functions!
